Dear Everett,
Hello, I take lantis twice a day because sometimes by blood sugar level was
too high before bedtime and I couldn't explain why. My Endocrinologist(
Doctor who specializes in Diabetes) had suggested it. We did not cut the
evening dose in half, though.
I strongly urge you to change doctors as soon as you can. It is a pain to
do but you will soon will be very grateful.
Warmly, Joy
